2. The woman in the jade coffin

Then the bright light disappeared into the darkness, and just when Chen Xiaobai's heart was up and down, the rope suddenly trembled.

Chen Xiaobai understood that this was the old man's secret signal for him to go down, put on the miner's lamp, picked up the big leather bag, grabbed the rope with both hands, coiled the rope with his legs, and quickly descended. After two or three minutes, Chen Bai felt his feet hit the ground.

Following the light of the miner's lamp, I saw a stone staircase in front of me, and an open stone door not far from the stone staircase. The place where he stands is a tunnel, made of ancient green bricks, with a height of three meters and a width of two meters.

Looking back, where the light shone, there were human bones, either standing by the wall, their skulls strangely crooked, or all the bones clumped together and lying on the ground in strange shapes. Rusty swords, broken arrows, all over the ground.

Chen Xiaobai calmed down, walked up the steps, entered the stone gate, and saw the old man standing not far from the door at a glance.

Under the illumination of the miner's lamp, a wide hall is presented in front of you. On both sides of the hall, there are six copper pillars three meters high, the body of the pillar is a dragon, and the top of the column is a copper basin.

On the three walls in front of me, there are beautiful pictures, which are too far away to be seen.

The ground was paved with cyan stone slabs, and the pieces were uniform in size and crystal clear like jade.

The roof is dome-shaped, made of blue jade-like stones, and the stars of the universe are painted on it, and the stars move on the blue canopy under the illumination of the miner's lamp.

"It's so beautiful", Chen Bai couldn't help but praise it.

In front of the wall facing the door is a high platform, a jade coffin is placed on the high platform, and the four corners of the jade coffin each stand a stone beast, the left green dragon, the right white tiger, the front Vermilion Bird, and the back Xuanwu. Lifelike, guarding the jade coffin in the middle, it is strange and solemn.

As soon as he came to Lao Chen, he saw the old man frowning and looking serious. "Boy, this is not a mortal tomb! Give me the message stone and gas mask, and you wear the mask too. ”

Chen Xiaobai hurriedly took out a large handful of round stones and masks from the big leather bag, handed them to the old man, and put on a gas mask himself.

"Boy, get down, the lower the better. ”

Seeing that Chen Bai was lying down, the old man put on a gas mask, sprinkled the message stone in his hand with the technique of a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, and immediately lay down beside Chen Xiaobai.

"Whoosh", the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air was endless, and dozens of arrows stuck to Chen Xiaobai's back, bringing gusts of cold wind. Shooting on the stone door, there was a "bang" sound, Chen Xiaobai felt that his back was soaked, but the cold sweat was still rolling down.

Immediately afterward, a layer of blue smoke rose from the entire stone chamber, and the vision became blurred, and it took a full ten minutes for the smoke to slowly dissipate and the arrows no longer fired. The grandfather and grandson, who had been lying on the ground, stood up.

Only then did I notice that the copper basins on several copper pillars in the hall were inexplicably on fire, and the hall was bright.

"You stand still, I'll take a look", Lao Chen moved to the jade coffin step by step, stopped about ten meters in front of the Vermilion Bird Statue, left and right, up and down, front and back, and observed for more than ten minutes.

Then he picked up an iron arrow from the ground and threw it hard at Suzaku's eyes, and at the same time, the old man quickly crawled behind Suzaku.

Suzaku's eyes were hit by an iron arrow, a huge bird's beak opened, and a flame erupted in a fan-shape, sneering at the air around it.

At this time, the old man was like a swift tanuki under the fire net, quickly crossed the Vermilion Bird, and pressed the stone bead in the mouth of the green dragon on the left, all of which happened between the lightning and flint.

Then, the sound of "click" was loud, and the four stone statues slowly sank into the ground, and Chen Xiaobai was stunned.

The old man touched the top of his head, and the hair on the top of his head turned to ashes, revealing a red scalp, "Boy, come here, it's safe." ”

Chen Bai hurriedly came to the jade coffin, "Grandpa, are you okay?" ”

"I can't die yet, let's see what kind of treasure there is!"

After speaking, both the grandfather and grandson looked directly at the jade coffin.

I saw that the jade coffin was opened strangely at the moment when the stone statue fell, the coffin lid fell to the ground, the coffin was covered with white mist, the cold air was awesome, and the situation inside was not very clear.

After a while, the white mist dissipated, and I saw the bones of a woman with bones like jade lying in the coffin, with a long nail on each of her limbs and heavenly spirits, and copper nails penetrating the bones. Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Xiaobai's scalp was numb.

"This is a cultivator," said Old Chen.

"How does Grandpa know?" asked Chen Xiaobai.

"The secret technique of our family is that your great-grandfather's great-grandfather picked up a bamboo slip in a monk's tomb. The jade slip says that the bones of the cultivator are as shiny as jade when they are cultivated, hey, it's a pity that the bamboo slip was lost by your grandfather. ”

"Grandpa, this is the Soul Tomb," Chen Xiaobai asked, staring at the jade-like bones.

"Yes, boy, this is the Soul Suppression Tomb. ”

The old man said, looked carefully in the coffin, and took out a material, a bracelet that was not gold or jade, and the bracelet was carved with a dragon, which looked like it was not ordinary.

"Boy, put it away", let's go up.

Chen Xiaobai took the bracelet and was about to speak, when suddenly the ground of the entire hall began to crack and sink.

"Ahh
